Woman Dies Following Excessive Bleeding From Circumcision

A 33-year-old woman, Selina Mugande, from Binga in Northern Zimbabwe, has died after her genitals were cut off .

Mugande had reportedly agreed to the procedure which was carried out on the 31st August.

But following excessive bleeding from the cut, the deceased allegedly sought medical help.

She, however, died days after being discharged from a medical facility, apparently due to loss of blood.

According to the report on Daily Post, 71-year-old grandmother of the victim’s husband, Martha Muzamba, reportedly performed the procedure at home with a razor blade and has since been arrested following Mugande’s death.

The Police spokesperson, Siphiwe Makonese, told the paper: “Following the recent incident, which involved genital mutilation, we are concerned about the public’s continued use of traditional means which aren’t medically safe to treat their ailments.”

The report further disclosed that villagers in the district said female genital mutilation, usually carried out for non-medical reasons, is little talked about in Zimbabwe but reportedly goes on in some communities.

“We often circumcise women by cutting off parts of their external genitalia to deal with infertility and other problems but one controversial practice is the elongation of the labia,” the villagers noted.

Meanwhile, popular women’s rights activist, Betty Makoni, had over time campaigned against female genital mutilation and particularly labia elongation in Zimbabwean communities.

*Who the heck still believes in circumcision?Let the woman enjoy sex please!The ones who survived it are damaged and walking around without any feelings in their clits and pretending to enjoy it,this is even reason why some marriages crash...Hissss!
